11 months agoNo, not in the example that you’ve set up. The username is always @user@domain. This is like asking if you can have the same email address on Gmail and Hotmail or whatever. You can have the same user part, but not the domain.
People that have used [email protected] and also [email protected] is allowed because they’re different domain names.
I’m not sure it’s as big of a deal with Lemmy. Threads data doesn’t map very well into Lemmy and vice versa. Like with Mastodon, I can read this post and comment on it, but it’s not really a great way to interact. I think it’s a bigger deal on the Mastodon/Calckey/etc side. If IG/FB federate then it becomes a different story, IMO.
